Countless electric snakes wove into a web of lightning around the giant ape, constantly tightening the encirclement.
The center of the web of lightning continued to rumble. This was the giant ape of the Celestial Elephant Clan, still resisting the attack of the electric snakes.
Just as the lightning serpent was getting closer and closer, the golden hair on the surface of the Celestial Phenomenon Patriarch's Great Ape Dharma Form, which was formed by the Zhen Yuan, suddenly stood up, like an arrow that had been pulled taut.
The giant ape abruptly struggled, and countless strands of golden fur shot out in all directions. Each strand of fur struck a lightning snake, and the countless lightning snakes exploded into a ball of lightning almost at the same time.
Countless lightning bolts intertwined with each other, forming a huge ball of lightning. Then, it turned into a chain of lightning that wrapped around the giant ape's body.
The giant ape looked at the lightning ropes descending on its body, and its body suddenly crouched to the ground. Then, it suddenly leaped forward, and its two palms fiercely grabbed one of the lightning ropes, and tore it apart. The giant ape let out a cry of pain, and with a crackling sound, the rope had already been torn into two by the giant ape. The giant ape's two palms had also been struck by the lightning and turned pitch-black.
The giant ape's entire body surged with Spiritual Yuan, and the golden Spiritual Yuan flowed into its palms like a liquid, and the pitch-black palms suddenly turned golden again.
Just as the giant ape tore apart one of the lightning ropes, the remaining two quickly shrank, binding the giant ape.
However, as the lightning ropes rapidly shrank, the giant ape's body also shrank by a third. The lightning ropes that were originally binding the giant ape suddenly loosened.
The giant ape seized the opportunity to break another lightning rope. However, in the instant that the second lightning rope broke, the third lightning rope suddenly changed its form. The rope that it had formed automatically split apart, turning into a lightning whip that was thirty feet long.
"Pa!"
The lightning whip took advantage of the moment when the giant ape tore apart the second rope and whipped the giant ape's back.
A massive whip mark appeared behind the Great Ape's back, and countless golden True Essence fragments scattered in all directions. The Great Ape fiercely staggered forward, almost falling to the ground.
The lightning whip was raised in the air once more. The long whip unfurled and lashed at the back of the giant ape once more.
Just as the lightning whip was about to strike Giant Ape's back again, Giant Ape, who was unable to dodge in time, suddenly turned around and caught the whip in his hand.
Countless explosions rang out from the giant ape's palms that were gripping the lightning whip. The golden luster on the giant ape's surface instantly dissipated under the bombardment of the lightning. Immediately afterwards, a golden-red color erupted from the giant ape's chest and spread throughout its entire body.
The Thunder Whip struggled with all its might in the giant ape's hand and shot out three bolts of lightning in a row. Every time the Thunder Whip released a bolt of lightning, the color of the Thunder Whip would fade a little.
At the same time, three golden-red rays of light burst out from the ape's chest, replenishing the golden-yellow Real Essence that had been depleted by the lightning strikes.
After the three bolts of lightning, the power of the Thunder Whip was greatly reduced. Giant Ape took the opportunity to step on one end of the Thunder Whip, and then grabbed the other end with both hands and pulled hard. The Thunder Whip was suddenly pulled in two.
Lu Ping could clearly see that every time Celestial Laozu's Dharma Aspect Giant Ape dispersed the bombardment of lightning, there was a vague mysterious aura lingering around the giant ape. As the giant ape dispersed the lightning more times, this mysterious aura became stronger and stronger.
Perhaps this was the Pure Yang Energy that Celestial Laozu had once explained to him.
The Pure Yang Energy was contained within the lightning. The process of the lightning being dispersed was actually a process of the cultivator collecting the Pure Yang Energy. Unfortunately, although the Pure Yang Energy lingered around Celestial Phenomenon Patriarch's body, given his current condition, he didn't have the time to refine it. After the Great Ape Dharma Idol survived the third wave of Lightning Tribulation, the fourth, fifth, and sixth waves of Lightning Tribulation came right after. The Great Ape Dharma Idol leapt up and down, its arms, right legs, and shoulders disintegrated by the Lightning Tribulation. Three times, it was replenished by the golden-red True Energy that erupted from the Great Ape Dharma Idol's chest. However, the True Energy that erupted from the Great Ape Dharma Idol gradually turned blood-red from its previous golden-red color.
However, after the sixth wave of lightning, the Real Essence that burst out from the Giant Ape's chest was no longer golden-red. Instead, it was bright red with a hint of gold. The golden giant ape had now turned into a golden-red giant ape with golden fur.
Lu Ping's expression also became more and more serious. The reason why Celestial Laozu's Dharma Aspect Giant Ape was golden at the beginning was because the Dharma Aspect Giant Ape was completely transformed from Celestial Laozu's Real Essence.
After that, as the Real Essence was consumed, Celestial Laozu began to use the bloodline essence that had been condensed for hundreds of years.
The bloodline essence was originally formed from Real Essence. Drop by drop, it would first gather within the Gold Core. Then, the Gold Core would shatter and the Dharma Aspect would be born. The bloodline essence would then become the foundation of the Dharma Aspect.
At present, Celestial Laozu's Real Essence was clearly on the brink of exhaustion. He could only stimulate the bloodline essence again and again. As a result, Celestial Laozu's Real Essence and magic power were replenished. However, it also weakened the foundation of the Dharma Aspect. Even if Celestial Laozu was lucky enough to overcome the Lightning Tribulation in the future, he would need at least tens or even hundreds of years to recover. Additionally, even if he were to re-condense the bloodline essence to replenish his foundation, it would not be as easy as before. His strength would inevitably be greatly weakened.
The dark clouds in the sky kept gathering from all directions. However, the dark clouds above the Giant Ape's head became increasingly concentrated and countless lightning bolts flashed about within the dark clouds.
At that moment, Celestial Laozu's Dharma Aspect, the Giant Ape, also seemed to have sensed something unusual. When it raised its head, it saw that in the center of the dark clouds above the Giant Ape's head, countless lightning bolts had converged and condensed, gradually forming a ball of lightning that looked like liquid.
Lu Ping looked at the ball of lightning above Laozu's Dharma Aspect with a puzzled look. Suddenly, he heard Celestial Laozu's sigh. "Is this the liquid form of lightning bolts? Before this, the Old Man vowed that he had made sufficient preparations. However, in the face of the might of the heavens and earth, the strength of a human is insignificant. "
When Lu Ping turned his head to look, he saw that Celestial Laozu had already emerged from the Dharma Aspect, and the Giant Ape Dharma Aspect was already floating above Celestial Laozu's head.
Celestial Laozu was looking at the ball of lightning in the center of the dark clouds above his head. His face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. His clothes were also stained with blood, and more than half of his previously black hair had turned white.
Celestial Laozu let out a long sigh. "This time, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to hide!"
Lu Ping was standing several tens of feet away from Celestial Laozu. When he heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Why does Senior Granduncle say this? Two-thirds of the lightning tribulation has passed. If Senior Granduncle can hold on for a little longer, our sect will usher in the best opportunity to rise again because of Senior Granduncle. "
Celestial Laozu looked at the ball of lightning in the sky, which had gradually grown from the size of a head to a diameter of three feet. He laughed bitterly and said, "It's not as simple as you think. The power of the nine bolts of lightning is gradually increasing, and when it comes to the last three bolts of lightning, its power can almost be described as destroying the heavens and the earth. The Old Man had originally estimated that the tribulation of the mid Dharma stage would be big enough, but in the end, he still underestimated its power. To be able to hold on until now, the Old Man has already exhausted his inner Yuan and his physical body has been damaged. He is truly at the end of his rope. "
Lu Ping lowered his head in thought for a moment, and said, "Does Senior Granduncle not have any elixirs that can quickly recover inner Yuan and repair the physical body?"
Celestial Laozu looked at Lu Ping and said, "Why not? Your Senior Granduncle Tianlu once spent more than ten years collecting spirit herbs, and he used almost a year to produce six Instantaneous Yuan Elixirs. For this, Tianlu Laozu even asked your teacher for a Spirit Demon Fruit, but now, there's only one left."
Looking at the grape-sized purple elixir in his hand, Celestial Laozu handed it over to Lu Ping and said, "Even if the Old Man consumes this elixir, he will at most struggle to get through the seventh lightning tribulation. In the end, he will not be able to escape the fate of death. This elixir, however, is extremely precious. It can replenish the inner Yuan of an early Dharma adept in an extremely short period of time. Even a mid Dharma adept can recover one-fifth to one-third of his inner Yuan in an instant. This is the work of Brother Tianlu after many years of hard work. You should keep it, lest it is wasted in the hands of the Old Man."
The ball of lightning in the sky seemed to have turned into a drop of water that was almost as bright as the full moon. It hung at the bottom of the funnel-shaped dark clouds, looking as if it would fall at any time.
Celestial Laozu looked at Lu Ping, who was deep in thought, and smiled. "The Old Man knows that you are a master of alchemy. I heard from Tianqin and Tianlu that you have many strange things on you, but the Dharma stage cannot be compared to the Core Forging stage. When you reach this stage in the future, you will understand the huge difference between the two."
When he heard that Tianlu Laozu had once received a Spirit Demon Fruit from his teacher, Lu Ping's first reaction was to think of the three Spirit Demon Peaches he had given to his teacher during the Dharma Assembly.
Seeing that Celestial Laozu had brought a purple pill to Lu Ping, Lu Ping's face suddenly broke into a smile. "Grandmaster, cultivation is originally a struggle against the heavens and the earth. If you don't give up at the last moment, how can you be a cultivator? Grandmaster has walked the path of cultivation for hundreds of years, you obviously understand this principle more deeply than your disciple. Why do you not dare to fight at the last moment? "
Celestial Laozu laughed bitterly. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. Looking at the thing that appeared in Lu Ping's hand, even though he had cultivated for nine hundred years and had experienced countless vicissitudes of life and death, at this moment, he could not control his state of mind. He asked in shock, "This, this is actually the Spirit Demon Fruit?"
Lu Ping laughed. "Grandmaster, you may not know this, but the Spirit Demon Fruit was originally found by your disciple in a historical relic. It was a gift that I gave to Master to help him achieve the Dharma Adept stage. It's just that when I gave the Spirit Demon Peach to Master, I naturally hid it."
